i've got the entire doors done from the handles down as well as the entire area behind the front wheel opening and entire area in front of the rear wheel openings. but, this won't (luckily) in any way affect airflow (and therefore pebble toshing into the cabin).

really? how does that work? Doesn;t wax work by removing a very small layer of the paint?

Waxing the cearbra is essentially a deep clean to restore it. Hopefully the protected paint underneath was meticulous when applied. Without exposure to elements, paint should be beautiful underneath for a long time.

and...my mention of the clearbra was for protecting the paint referenced in GaryFL's post. :-) But maybe they could develop a dimpled version that smooths airflow like a golf ball.

Stop looking for bogus reasons to remind everyone that you own a CGT.
Not everyone here is stupid, duh..

Guess you guys never drove an open car in a race.....I've been BELTED, SMACKED, CONKED, AND CRACKED AT withing my helmet, driving open (prototypes) cars. FIRST time this happens you KEEP THE VISOR CLOSED from then on as you leave pit stop until you STOP again. Once, my crew chief removed a HALF INCH BOLT that was stuck into my helmet. definite turbulance at 200! M

I've actually had the same problem before when driving in 996's. My suggestion is to never stay behind cars, or keep your windows up so yo dont catch one in the eye sometime and kill yourself.
